PRISM PRIZE

The Prism Prize hon­ours the best in Cana­dian mu­sic videos, and they re­vealed a short­list of ten nom­i­nees. On May 13, at a cer­e­mony at the TIFF Bell Light­box in Toronto, one win­ner will re­ceive $15,000. A jury of over 120 Cana­dian me­dia pro­fes­sion­als will vote based on “orig­i­nal­ity, style, cre­ativ­ity, in­no­va­tion and ef­fec­tive ex­e­cu­tion.” Last year’s Prism Prize was awarded to Kay­tranada’s “Lite Spots” video, di­rected by Martin C. Pariseau. This year’s nom­i­nated artists in­clude Al­ice Glass, Char­lotte Day Wil­son, Daniel Cae­sar, Alv­vays, Leonard Co­hen, PUP and more. Keep an eye on Ex­claim.ca for the an­nounce­ment of who takes home this year’s award.
